The Abomination

The Abomination
1
Abomination
A
thin and sickly man is surrounded by goblins
armed with knives and spears. He starts
screaming. The goblins begin to close in,
grinning. The man falls to his knees, as dark fur
begins to cover his body. His teeth lengthen into
sharp fangs, his nails curl into claws. His
muscles bulge and stretch. His screams become
howls, and it is the goblins' turn to scream.
A deathly pale elf is stopped by a thief holding a long thin
dagger. The elf calmly removes one of his gloves and grabs the
thief by the throat in a burst of speed. The thief's skin begins
to turn black and gray as he thrashes, desperately trying to get
free. The elf holds on grimly. The lifeless body of the thief falls
to the floor, and the elf continues walking.
A small halfling leaps from a sky ship and begins to fall. His
eyes fill with fire as great horns grow from his skull. Thin bat
wings grow from his back. He spreads them and takes flight.
Abominations are people afflicted by a terrible curse that give

them supernatural and terrifying abilities. What all
abominations have in common is that they can transform into
terrifying monsters, however they also gain many other
unique and horrifying characteristics such as strange
mutations and the ability to mark their prey or allies.
Outcast by Society
Abominations are often cast out by society once their cursed
nature is discovered. Often these outcasts end up living in
hiding, in remote caves or abandoned houses out of fear of
being discovered or hunted down. Monster hunters will often
hunt down and kill these individuals as they are widely seen
as beings of pure evil.
However, an abomination's behavior actually has more to
do with who they are as a person, than their actual curse.
Some abominations are kind, others cruel, depending on their
personality. Some are angry with society, and others try to

Each curse can have vastly different effects on the cursed
creature, and can be caused by very diverse events.

Additional Content
This last section concerns some additional content that can
help you roleplay as an abomination, and explains how to
multiclass in and out of your class. Any rules listed are
optional, and require your DM's permission to apply.
Multiclassing
If your group uses the optional rule on multiclassing in the
Player's Handbook, here's what you need to know if you chose

class, or to take a level in another class if you are already an
abomination.
Proficiencies Gained. If abomination isn't your initial class,
you gain proficiency with light armor, medium armor and
shields when you take your first level as an abomination.
What is a Soul?
In the curse of the pit, one of the features involves
determining whether a creature has a soul or not. This is
obviously an abstract and difficult question, so it's best to
discuss it with your DM before beginning the campaign, so
that there isn't any confusion during the game. Here are some
tips for a DM on how to rule what has a soul and what doesn't:

Signs of Evil
Many abominations have signs that they are cursed that go
beyond their mere class features. These are called signs of
evil. With your DM's permission, you can roll on the following
table to determine what your signs of evil are. Alternatively,
your DM can decide to let you invent your own they may
decide to give you a Dark Blessing from Van Richten's Guide to
